At this point I'm so happy he was trend down. I couldn't stand to have a coach like him represent UA.Sorry, but I still think that getting turned down for the Bama job is in the back of his mind - constantly...

Carolina is loaded and really should win the east. Like Spurrier or not he is entertaining,
and his comments have made us carry on a five page thread and counting. I can not wait until fall practice starts.
I didn't realize SOS was available if Bama was ready to hire him. I remember some discussion around him but I never knew he was definitely ready to come to Bama had we made a public offer.Sorry, but I still think that getting turned down for the Bama job is in the back of his mind - constantly...
FIFYThe media loves him because he picks on the establishment. The media really has never liked Alabama since the 60s and Coach Bryant (not sure how much they "liked" us then). But they surely hate us now, and they don't like Nick Saban. So, anything Spurrier or anyone says that's mocking us or Coach Saban, they are going to eat it up.
They see Spurrier as someone who is not afraid to speak his mind and they find that refreshing amongst all the coach speak. I see him as an overrated pompous jerk whose best years have long since passed him by.
Guess ol'boy never heard of Fisher, D'antoni, or McElwainTo me it reads that Spurrier lets his assistants do their jobs. If Alabama is paying all these assistants and advisors all of this money and Saban is knee deep in everything, what good are they? How are they going to develop as coaches?
Whereas you look at our staff and guys like Coach Elliott, Ward, Mangus, Brown .. these guys have blossomed under Spurrier. I may be wrong but it appears to me like he does a better job grooming assistants.
I love how our fans and others drool over this guy, yes you are right Spurrier did lose those games but how many 5 star players were on the roster compared to Saban's bama teams? What Spurrier meant and what most of you are not understanding is that with the talent Saban has at Bama if his coaching skills were any good he should have won a lot more. And yes Saban's teams shouldn't have lost to OK or Utah. Non conference bowl games are a whole lot different then conference games in the regular season. You have a month to prepare, a team thats healthy, and a non SEC opponent. While during the season you are fighting injuries, SEC opponents, and limited preparation.
[Yes, people tend to "drool" over a coach that's won 4 National Championships at two different schools. Makes one hell of a lot of sense to me. Didn't we have lots of time to prepare for Missouri (bowl), UCONN, FSU, Iowa? That argument is silly anyway, both teams have the same amount of preparation time.
This thread is like some sort of bizarro world. Complain that another coach gets the best players then admit that he works harder at getting those players. Absolutely crazy
I'm not angry, but consistently wins? What has Spurrier won since 2000?
Answer: nothing. The one time he made it to the SECCG, the barn DRILLED his team by 39 points.
